Former Tigers Jack Morris and Alan Trammell were both elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the the Modern Era Committee, MLB announced Sunday. Morris, a pitcher, and Trammell, a shortstop, both failed to gain entry during their 15 years on the regular ballot. In balloting by the 16-member Modern Era panel, with 12 votes needed for election, Morris got 14 votes and Trammell received 13. “I’m so proud that Jack and I will be going in together,” Trammell said. Morris added, “I can’t think of a better scenario to go in with a former teammate and a guy that I respect and love so much, and I know it’s going to be good day.”
